Training Session: Oct 20 - Nov 23, 2008

The 5-week training session is designed to give you and your participants the best possible experience with online learning in our short, 6-week session. Even if you have run an online course before, you will need to adapt to the unique, all-voluntary nature of EVO. Your active participation in the training weeks is necessary.
